First Love - Marc

 FIRST LOVE

 

Suddenly thrust

​unexpectedly

To where time does not exist

​basking in feelings 

Long forgotten

​I find myself invincible

Untouched by seasons gone by

 

And then you are here

​a gasp leaves my throat

Or is it a sob

​for what was lost

Pulled away; no not yet

​I did not warn you

Of your tragedy to come

​diminishing you forever

 

Left with memories

​like ashes

Falling through my fingers

​only the memory

Of that summer

​when you gently

Helped a boy become a man
